  5. Heat engines • As heat flows from a reservoir at higher temperature to a sink at lower temperature, work may be removed. • Even if no work is removed, maximum engine efficiencies never reach 100% and depend on Th and Tc .

  10. Analyze heat engine • A gasoline engine in a truck takes in 10,000 J of heat and delivers 2000 J of mechanical work per cycle. The heat is obtained by burning gasoline with heat of combustion Lc = 5.0 x 104 J/g. • What is the thermal efficiency of this engine? • How much heat is discarded in each cycle? • How much gasoline is burned in each cycle? • If the engine goes through 25 cycles per second, what is its power output in watts?

  11. The internal-combustion engine • A fuel vapor can be compressed, then detonated to rebound the cylinder, doing useful work.

  12. The Otto cycle and the Diesel cycle • A fuel vapor can be compressed, then detonated to rebound the cylinder, doing useful work.

  13. Refrigerators • A refrigerator is essentially a heat engine running backwards.

  14. Air conditioning, the clever placement of an air conditioner

  15. The Second Law stated in practical terms • You can’t make a machine that does nothing but move heat from a cold item to a hot sink.

  16. Q20.6 A copper pot at room temperature is filled with room-temperature water. Imagine a process whereby the water spontaneously freezes and the pot becomes hot. Why is such a process impossible? A. It violates the first law of thermodynamics. B. It violates the second law of thermodynamics. C. It violates both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. D. none of the above

D. none of the above

  18. The Carnot Cycle • A thought experiment envisioning the most efficient heat engine that might be created. • Reversible processes of isothermal expansion, adiabatic expansion, isothermal compression, then finally adiabatic compression.

  19. Q20.7 A Carnot engine takes heat in from a reservoir at 400 K and discards heat to a reservoir at 300 K. If the engine does 12,000 J of work per cycle, how much heat does it take in per cycle? A. 48,000 J B. 24,000 J C. 16,000 J D. 9000 J E. none of the above
